Game Preview
There have been few more dominant teams in the NHL this season than the Colorado Avalanche. They come into this weekend sitting clear at the top of the Western Conference, and four points ahead of the Dallas Stars in the Central Division.
Their dominance is plainly obvious from their overall record this term, which reads 24-2-7. In their last ten games, the Avalanche have picked up seven wins, including victories in each of their last three.
Colorado’s most recent win was a 5-3 success against the Seattle Kraken. Nathan MacKinnon was a standout performer in that game, scoring twice.
The Winnipeg Jets will have the daunting task of travelling to Colorado on Friday. They have lost their last two games, and have gone 3-5-2 over their previous ten. That record sees them sit sixth in the Central Division.
Winnipeg lacked an offensive spark in their most recent outing, as they were beaten 1-0 on the road by the St. Louis Blues. The defeat saw the Jets slip to a 7-9-1 record away from home in the NHL this season.
Jets vs. Avalanche Picks
Everything points towards this being a straightforward evening at Ball Arena for Colorado. The Avalanche should have the offensive quality to cruise to victory, and they could do so by covering the spread.
